Some guy who was tortured to get a 'confession' is not a good source
How the British Obtained the Confessions of Rudolf Höss
"He appeared before the International Military Tribunal as a witness on 15 April 1946, where his deposition caused a sensation. To the amazement of the defendants and in the presence of journalists from around the world, he confessed to the most frightful crimes that history had ever known. He said that he had personally received an order from Himmler to exterminate the Jews. He estimated that at Auschwitz 3,000,000 people had been exterminated, 2,500,000 of them by means of gas chambers. His confessions were false. They had been extorted from Höss by torture, but it took until 1983 to learn the identity of the torturers and the nature of the tortures they inflicted upon him."

You want evidence ? How about the written statement of the commander of Auschwitz ?
(during his trial he was cross examined by defence and prosecution lawyers and gave further detailed account of the inner working of the camp, the brutality, the methodology, and the rationale.)
